The sense of smell is a powerful motivator. When prospective buyers walk into a house, it is better for them to smell freshly baking oatmeal cookies rather than kitty litter.

You may not notice odors that others may pick up as soon as they walk in the door. If your house is for sale, ask a friend or neighbor to give it a "sniff test". If there are offensive smells, how do you get rid of them?

Sometimes there are obvious and simple solutions--a good
scrubbing, the old vanilla-on-the-light-bulb trick, essential oil diffusers or throwing out the dog's special chair. You can temporarily declare your home a "no smoking" zone. You may need professional help for cleaning carpets and drapes or deodorizing walls and wood floors. Your real estate agent will be able to provide you with a list of cleaning services which can assist you in making your home
smell clean and fresh.
